I was wondering, do you need a special necklace clasp or would any jewelry clasp work?

[yosyam]

You don't need special clasp but plastics doesn't work ;)

Thanks!

I've always wondered:
Do you shock yourself if you touch the conductive thread with a current running through it, or is it completely safe?

[Cyberscann54]

no you wont shock yourself but if you wear it in the shower you might feel a little tingle it will get very nasty if you do that though also long very wet hair may cause .a tingle too,

[D00M99]

Is there any certain reason why you won't shock yourself?

[yosyam]

I think there are no problem if you touch the conductive thread with current through it, because it's very weak.
Of course, the large currents can be dangerous.
I also weaved conductive threads into chain to avoid touching the threads the skin directly.
But perhaps I should do all kinds of things for completely safe next.

[D00M99]

So you are shocking yourself, just with a really low voltage/watts?. Ok then, thanks! Cause I've seen other projects where your skin is touching a live wire and I'm a bit cautious about that...

[yosyam]

I do not shock at all actually from this necklace. May be you saw my other work 'birdcage' that I didn't use the conductive thread.
If you really worried about getting a shock from the threads, it might be better to cover them with bead or something :)

It is a very clever design - I didn't read the Instructable thoroughly, but is there a reason to have the battery in a separate ball? Why not have the battery in the tear drop with the LED and run the wires straight up to the clasp?

Using the clasp as a switch is very smart!

[yosyam]

Hmm.....no special reason :).
But I thought I could avoid threads to touch each other if I had the battery in a separate ball.

Very nice job but step 3 and 4 offer no description. I have no idea on how to crochet. That should be included in your instructable. Your leaving out nearly half the projects information.

Beautiful!

thank you!!
